the aVay Claud Inah and Ma-
rterthward from Darjeellng tha
view of the Himalaya avnautalna Is
inspiring. When the gray doods break,
they reveal crystal ramparta, lifting
far to oast and wast, and a majestic
panorama of range beyond rang In
the blaa distance. The primeval far
eat no longer extends to the snow
line. There are bare spots and rain
acids and hundreds of tea gardens.
Bat the farther mountains are
clothed with great trees and with a
tangle of ferns and creepers, bamboos,
climbing palms and wild flowers. The
hill tribes living In these solitudes are
very dissimilar 1b features, dress and
habits, but alike In their half-superstitions
awe of their great mountains
and In their quiet friendliness. Some
times a woman from the Himalaya

From the coming of Hererann, hus

in the Sixteenth century, 120 kings of
the Scotic or Milesian stork ruled from
their palace on the famous hill. In the
annals of the Four Masters we read of
the fortieth In the list of Irish kings,
the renowned Olluv Fola, who institut
ed the Feis or assembly-of Tara. His
real name was Eocby, the title Ollav
Fola, or Doctor of Erin, being given
him because of his extraordinary
(earning. The "fels tara" was the na
tional parliament of the Ireland of Its
day, and met trlennially for one week
at the period known as Samhalntide
(three days before and three days
after November day). The meeting

The last king to reign at Tara was
Dlarmald, and no king after him, even
when called king of Tara, ever dwelt
upon "the beautiful bill."

held In Portland on April !th
The data gathered In this survey

Bhowed the Oregon as a state haa
not sufficient data available setting
forth In exact terms what the vari
ous districts have to offer to pros

"We propose to bring Oregon up
to date In a statistical way." said
"Blil" Hahley of Burns, president
of the State Chamber. "Before we
can continue the development plana
we have under way, it Is necessary
that we know exactly what the state

THE VALUE OP SERVICE
The doctor who answers a hurry
call with the greatest possible speed
is more valuable than a physician
of equal akill who drives up to the
patient' door at his own conveni
ence. Service counta. It is worth
money. Who 1b there who doesn't
agree with this general principle?
and doesn't It apply also in the buy
ing of merchandise?
The progressive merchant in
your own trading center gives serv-
i Ice along with the goods. He has a
selection of merchandise continually
tin Block. You don't have to wait.
When you enter the store you are
able to see the article Itself In
which you are interested. You see1
It with ycur eyes, feel It with your:
fincers; note its actual Bine, shape j
! fuid color; compare It with other I
goodB at different prices, and, if it J
is what you want, take It away with i
you. i
If you have questions to ask, you
are given an explanation on we
spot. The answer given your first j
question may uuEgest another query, j
It is answered .within half a minute J
of the first interrogation. No time
Is lost. You benefit from the
dealer's practical knowledge, from r
the fact that he la on the ground j
and ready at all times to see to it
personally that the article he has
sold you gives satisfaction. I
The wise buyer will not forget
that such matters- have a dollars,
and cents value and should enter ln-
to tha reckoning whenever a price j
comparison is being made. The .

WHERE BUNGLE DOES HARM

Bungler ire frequently talker

sure they want to be rated welt among
their friends and frequently go to tha
limit tn telling others what they are
going to do. That's how George got
Into the hospital. It seems George

how ninny there are tike him. They
are going to turn the world upside
down until they meet face to face with
the fncts.
After the bunglers get In their work
It's impossible for anyone else to make
a good job of It. They take perfectly
good reputations and leave them pretty
poor examples of what is good. No
wood butcher ever nuide a bigger mess
of good lumber than has ninny a bun

these artists even bungle up their own
lives. They get their heads full of no

RIDE ON SUNBEAM EXPRESS
Journey That Would Be Remarkable
for Spsed and for Wondars
Seen Along tha Way.
Emtle Betot, the French astronomer,
suggests that, tf one were able to
straddle a light ray (which travels
186.000 mtles a second) and thus voy
age through space, observations along
rbe route would be exceedingly inter
esting. Tt would take only a little mora
than a second to reach the moon and
In 4 minutes and 20 seconds one would
arrive at the planet Mara. One would
get n far as Jupiler to 85 minutes,
to Saturn In 7fi minutes, to Uranus In
2 hours and to Neptune In 4 hours.
On the way one would come across
a great many comets without tails
nphul-iUH bodies of spherical shape
which are rarely seen from the earth.
It would take two years to get out
side the sphere of the sun's attraction,
and by that time our orb of day
would look like nothing more import
ant thnn a hie tnr.

Painfully Thrilling dame.
The natives of the Philippine Islands
have a guine known a "slapping." It
Is played by two men. Hoth are
nude, and afler tosidiig a ahull to de
termine who Is "It," one of them, the
"It" man. takes a seat on a log In
such a manner as to expose his right
thigh. He then lights a cigarette and
endeavors to maintain an air of con
temptuous Indifference.
The other man steps back so as to
get a good swing, and then slaps with
his hand with every ounce of strength
he can put Into it. The report souada
like a pistol shot. A Judge examines
the spot where the blow fell. If a
blood blister i shown that Is. If the
blood can be seen Jusl under the skin
the victim has no chance to come
back at his antagonist. If tt does nor
how, then he can swing at the other
feUow.
